Some mini-t questions
#1
I was looking into the mamba brushless system for the mini-t. I was told that it comes with a esc. Is this right? What kind of receiver do I need to use? Can I use a 1/10 receiver or would the plugs not work right?

Are there any better brushless systems for it? Also is there a quick charger for mini battery packs. I want to race it, but that would be hard becuase I would need to charge all the batterys at home because right now I have a charger that takes 45-60 minutes.

Thanks.

ok, most of the packages come with an ESC, u can use a regular pack but if u get a LiPo pack it will be alot faster, and im pretty sure that you can use a regular 1/10 reciver, just make sure that u have a ball diff, i was shredding stock ones with a speed motor, lol u know my SN if u have anyothers, also im sure others know more than me

I ran a mamba 8000.
You need a new servo and reciever. The esc plugs into any receiver, I used the same one my maxx used in my mini t. The mini t is now on ebay though.

All the mamba competion and sport packages come with the mamba 25 esc. And you can run any 1/10 reciever, but make sure it fits correctly in the Mini-T. I used the Novak XXL receiver on my 18T and a futaba r133f receiver on the mini-T and they fit perfectly.

So I would be able to use my spektrum when I get it and in the mean time use the one from my bandit or maxx until i get it running?

New servo and ball differentials. Where can I get these and what kind of servo do I need?

i think revo2k might have a servo that will fit it, from when he had his mamba but i dont remember PM him, u can get a ball diff from any hobby shop that has 1/18th stuff, i have an MIP one. http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti...LXGZM2&P=7 just be sure not to over tighten the screw in the out put shafts, i did that and it snapped right off, also i had to drill out a little bit around the diff case because the new yolks were rubbing and it would bearly move. i have the rebuild kit if u need more of the balls, my advice would be to get a pringle lid, or a gartorade top or something like that and then magnatise a small screwdriver to pick up the balls because some of them are so small u can barely see them on the desk. just be careful, lol

I hate to blatantly refer you to another site, but the owner of the rc zone is really good with mini t stuff. I bet if you ask there they will answer it well.

tower doesnt carry losi stuff, so they might not have an after market servo for it

Thanks t to the maxx2. I will use your link to register. I am going outside to try and get rid of the extra snow around the curbs so we can park someone other than our driveway. Small driveway and 3 cars don't mix to well.

I have a HiTec HS-56HB that I had in my mini-t and now in my RC18t.

really good servo but the Mini-t was not really designed for it so you will have to do a bit of modifcation to get the servo to fit.
